Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into one of the search boxes on this site goes straight to the outside provider that runs that search. The provider processes the entry and returns the results. Nothing you type into a search box is kept or logged on this end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this site is retained so the message can be answered. Those messages stay with the people who run the site and are not shared outside it unless a legal obligation requires the disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each page load produces technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser name and version
- The device type and operating system
- Which pages were viewed and how long each stayed open
- The referring site, when one sent you here
- The time of each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site sets cookies, which are small files stored on your device, to show how visitors move through the pages and where they tend to stop. Analytics services aggregate that traffic data. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though parts of the site may behave differently when you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing a search request to the partner that handles it
- Seeing which pages readers find useful and which ones need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Queen Anne's County warrant information is held and how to check it with the Sheriff's Office, the Maryland courts and the clerks who keep the files. Nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into a consumer report or into a record about a third party, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. Whatever is entered there is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners choose their own retention and sharing practices, and this site has no control over them. Read the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to sheriff's office pages, Maryland court portals, legal aid organizations and outside search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy then governs the visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that handle a query run from this site
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or a government body when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the data this site collects. No internet service can promise complete safety, and no method of storage or transmission is perfect, so a breach cannot be ruled out entirely.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If you believe a minor has sent data to this site, make contact through the details on the contact page and it will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Maryland law may give you additional rights over personal data, and the rights below are available to any visitor on request. Note that the Maryland Public Information Act governs access to records held by state and local government agencies, and it does not apply to this private site.
- Ask what this site holds about you
- Ask to have incorrect information corrected
- Ask to have your data deleted
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the site changes. A revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back if you want to follow how visitor information is handled.
